Auschwitz begins wherever someone looks at a slaughter house and thinks: they're only animals
(Theodor Adorno)

Are dogs or cats somehow more worthy of moral consideration than pigs or chickens? Do they possess some intrinsic quality that entitles them to favoured treatment? Dogs and cats are, arguably, more aesthetically appealing than pigs. But so what? The singer Madonna is more pleasing to look at than the Pope, but this hardly entitles her of moral superiority. (James Serpell, In the Company of Animals)
